Son of Francis J. and Elizabeth Power, of Gympie, Queensland
Mrs F. J. Power, ''Kitawah,' South Side, Gympie, received a cable yesterday from her son, Captain (Dr.) J. J. Power, of the 7th Field Ambulance, France, dated the 15th inst., conveying the sad intelligence that her third son, lieutenant Noel Plunkett Power, had been killed in France, and that another son, Gunner Paul (Mick) Power had been slightly wounded. The late Lieutenant was only 24 years of age when he enlisted in Sydney in August 1914. He was at Gallipoli and landed in France in March last year, and had been in the trenches ever since. He enlisted as a private but in August last after the battle of Pozieres, was promoted to Lieut. Another of Mrs. Power's sons is also at the front.
